God

A person who can rise above the feelings of ownership, arrogance & desire of wealth & lives a desireless life, gains true peace.

This shloka of geeta says:

A sage thinks that the wealth which I think is mine is actually not mine. God owns it, because she is the one who controls these, not me. That proves that she is the owner of these things, not me. So she can do whatever she wants with them. I should use her things for her service only. I should not use it for my own pleasure. By thinking this way he loses his addiction, ownership tendency toward wealth and arrogance of being wealthy.

He also believes that his body, soul, mind, senses are also not his own, they are God’s, so he also belongs to God. and he should act that way.

By thinking this way he loses attachment and desire of all material things and wipes away any arrogancy related to them and reaches eternal peace.This shloka of geeta says:
